This big fellow looks pretty well fed and not much trouble. Give him a day or two and it will be a different story. It is always a good idea to shoot animals like this from the protection of a vehicle if at all possible.
Michael, this is absolutely breathtaking. I love cats and wild cats. I would be in heaven to see on up close like this. Just magnificient; both the shot and the creature.
Into all my favs and into your folder on my hd too.

I already posted a image; "The King" 2 weeks ago, if you take a look at that, then you can see by this picture, WHY he is 'The Mighty King'.
Awesome capture.
Lion talking to you: Remember..who you are... you are the photographer, and the best shot ive had in years.- Remember...--Remember...who...you--arrrrrrrrre........ :)
Incredible...there's a look in his eyes!
I LOVE LIONS!
"hear the sound of the Lion of Judah, see the fire and the fear in the enemy's camp, from the sound of the Lion of Judah roaring again. there's a new generation arising, a nameless, faceless, placeless tribe. All they fear is the fear of the Lord, and all they hear is the Lion of Judah" (jason upton)
